The treadmill is meant only for the really rich. It has a price tag of $ 24,500, and will be available on sale from next month.

How does it work? It creates enough air pressure inside its enclosure to create near vacuum. It uses differential air pressure around your lower body, to lift you up.

The machine then allows you to exercise by moving your legs in 20 per cent less gravity or any differential space between that and normal gravity.

The overpriced version is already being used by 50 per cent of NBA teams and many NFL teams besides some college athletic schedules. In near future, the machines may well make it to your neighbourhood gym.
AlterG is surely a gift for those athletes recovering from injuries, the elderly who must exercise but have no energy or muscle power for it, and patients who need exercise.

Mobia Treadmill’s simple innovation has in it the right mix for your workout. The treadmill by Nautilus gets you to walk forward like on any other treadmill. But then here, you also step up like it is a moving stair. The workout is intense because of this with the motion of an elliptical.

The maximum speed on this treadmill is four miles per hour, and its three in one motion gets you results you may get through a sprint, even at a walking pace. Thereby you save your joints and muscles.

How exactly does it do this? It activates your lower body and core muscles through the walking. When you step forward and up, the machine rises to meet your foot. Your natural movement pushes the surface down through resistance. A study by New York’s Adelphi University says Mobia burned twice the number of calories than 30 minutes on a treadmill of same speed.

Apparently, the idea was to brighten up the exercise regimen that most people are either bored or dread to undertake on a regular basis.
